I am looking for the names of any/all Orphanages located
in or near Athlone. My wifes father was in one from about
1910 onwards till about 1924, when he was sent out into
the world. He was taught the trade of Shoe Repair, and was
a craftsman at it.

Any info will be appreciated.....

Thanks....Stu:

The main orphanage in Athlone was situated in Summerhill in the parish of St. Peters run by the sisters of mercy. Many who died are buried in Drum old cemetry where they are remembered by a plaque erected by the Drum Heritage group
